Displacement is what happens when the real feeling can’t go where it belongs - so it finds a safer target.

In this episode of Freud Made Me Do It, we look at the quiet, everyday ways we redirect anger, grief, desire, or fear. Not because we’re dishonest - but because we’re trying to survive what feels too dangerous to name.

This isn’t just theory. It’s what plays out when you snap at your partner after a hard phone call. When you rewrite your childhood onto your children. When you carry someone else’s silence and hand it to the wrong person.

It’s not weakness. It’s displacement. And once you see it, you can stop passing the feeling forward.
